S1 E15: An Introduction to DeSci and the Builders Behind It (Sarah and Alex)

DAOn the Rabbit Hole

In this episode of DAOn the Rabbit Hole, we’re talking to Sarah and Alex. They’re leading figures in the Decentralized Science space, and together they co-founded LYNX, a data management system for user data collected through wearables. They’re here to talk about all things DeSci and their experiences building a company in this space.

Sarah and Alex talk about how they found their way into DeSci from backgrounds in traditional science and blockchain. We discuss some of the problems traditional science is facing and how DeSci can solve them. Then we cover the issue of censorship, and how we can use blockchain to expand participation in science.

Sarah and Alex also dive into LYNX — what it’s all about, the problems it solves, and how it uses blockchain. We talk about the dangers involved in centralized entities getting hold of our personal data from wearables, and some specific use cases for LYNX.

Finally, we talk about collaboration in the DeSci community and how it compares to more traditional industries. Sarah and Alex share their long-term vision for LYNX and DeSci in general.
